Can AI ever be aware? Can it be conscious, and if it could, what would that mean for business and the future of work?

In this Thinking on Paper episode, Jeremy and Mark sit down with Ram Srinivasan - author of The Conscious Machine: From artificial to enlightened intelligence - to think on paper about consciousness, Advaita Vedanta, panpsychism and why Eastern Philosophy changes how we think about every AI system we build.

How AI will reshape the future of work. Moving from linear to exponential thinking isn’t optional if we’re going to direct automation toward human flourishing rather than simply chasing efficiency.

Why trust is the new currency. From the ethics of autonomous agents to designing AI-native organizations, Ram argues that credibility, values and wisdom are the foundations of any lasting technological advantage.
